Asians in US make up most rapidly-increasing racial group, whites slowest

The number of Asians in the US is rising at a greater rate than all other racial groups, based on the latest US Census data. International migration accounted for most of the Asian population growth. Whites showed the slowest gains.

The Asian demographic remains the fastest-growing ethnic group in the US since 2000, according to Census Department demographer Sam Garrow, reported the Associated Press. In 2013, China surpassed Mexico to become the top country of origin for immigrants arriving to the US.

From July 2014 to 2015, a 3.4 percent increase of Asians took place, mostly due to migration, bringing their total number in the US to 21 million. That is about 6.5 percent of the national population.

More Asians live in California than any other state, some 1.7 million, but Hawaii is the only state with a majority-Asian population, at 56 percent. Earlier this year, the US Census reported that 54 percent of Asians in the US have at least a bachelor’s degree, making them the most educated ethnicity in a country with a 33 percent college-graduation rate.

During the same period, the total of Hispanics in the US grew to 56.6 million, following an increase of 2.2 percent. Although they are nearly a majority in New Mexico, where they make up 48 percent of the state’s population, Hispanics are fourth among racial groups based on national growth rates. Pacific Islanders grew by 3.1 percent, while Native Hawaiians increased their numbers by 2.4 percent.

Populations of American Indians and Alaska natives now number 6.6 million, rising 1.5 percent. African-Americans followed with 1.3 percent growth, totaling 46.3 million.

Whites were the slowest, nearly stagnating, with 0.1 percent growth. The US Census counted 198 million people who identified as white. Many people, however, identified as white and a second race. When they were included, the population growth increased to 0.5 percent.

With a median age of 20, mixed-race people were the youngest. Their numbers grew 3.1 percent to 6.6 million. Among so-called Millennials, counted as those born between 1982 and 2000, 44.5 percent did not identify as non-Hispanic white. But for those born after 2000, 49 percent did not identify as such.

Humm.. Considering, multiple factors...
the political environment,
the 15.7 million illegals,
the daily influx of refugees,
the education & crimes of the demographics, a $20 Trillion debt, the economy, joblessness, 1million cut off SNAP, etc.

I say #AsiansInPowerNow

And please hurry! Let's clean this place up!

Hi

Hory crap!!

Ok you palefaces, get in that bedroom, and don't come out till she's pregnant. Hee hee..

Well, I did my part. And since my retirement, I tried to encourage those whipper snappers... Ugh, to no avail.

I'm too old to wanna have to raise more children.

Asians, really?

The current administration wants to import more than 200,000 Syrians into the US this year alone!

And, as many as twice that many Mid-Easterners from other countries.

This has to be a smoke screen to draw attention away from the Arab invasion.

Imho.

* Asia is developing at a very fast rate, thus taking economic power from the West every day, with China predicted to overtake the US by 2030 (China's economy overtook Japan last week)
* Asia consitutes more than half the World's population
* White people's culture appears to dominate the world's international culture at present, even though Whites account for only 16% of the World's population

...it seems inevitable that some serious changes are going to happen over the next 20 years or so - within most of our lifetimes.

There isn't any mention of Indians from India.

Theirs is a bludgeoning population too. Right between China, Indonesia, and the Arab nations - with more than one billion folk - three times the population of the US.

Indians in India are classified as Asian

I am suspicious about it myself.
From all the sites I checked...
Population, births & legal/ illegal citizen, is a read between the lines game.
And there are various terms for migration. (That's unbelievable!)

Americans:
Births are down with White & Blacks. And slightly rose with Native & Pacific Islanders.
And the biggest increase in births is Asian. (Which I assume is Chinese, because Hunan Chinese language is on the rise).

Non Americans:
The rise is (all categories of) Hispanic. With a projection of 34% of all children, by 2030.
( also children having children, in this group).
With the second group being Asian.
* Again, Spanish & Chinese languages *


The ONLY consistency I found is that Americans are 48%-52% (some type of) Protestant. And 48% (some type of) Catholic.
With Mississippi being the most religious & Vermont, the least.
* This is judged by church attendance ,NOT by declaration/identifying,.... so the numbers would be MUCH higher, especially since 23% of the population does NOT identify with ANY of the top 5 religions of the world

Someone needs to tell the Indians from India because they do not think of themselves as 'Asians'.

They are at odds with the Asians, having fought several border skirmishes with the Asians (Chinese) to their North.

Ok Sassie, what's up? On your Americans list you left out hispanics. Remember, Trump is wrong. Hispanics are Americans too. Considering they were here before everybody showed up.

Hun I included Hispanics in my post... The one you taped, read it.

As for rest



* I didn't make the damn pie chart you guys. And yes, that is the latest one. I even asked another, to look for a newer one... There isn't one. Nor did I write the OP article. And I double checked that data too.
Call, your congress reps. *

Calm down, Robxbox73!

It's as She *points at SassyEuro2* said!

Send them back to where they came from.

Those Asians propagate like rabbits.

No... Please!
Not the Asians!


It is our only logical solution ....

#AsiansInPowerNow.

yes, they were... and they've lost every war since then... so they are lucky to even have a country called Mexico... Mexico was Aztec, and didn't even speak Spanish before Spain invaded and left their culture for the "Mexicans"...

so don't preach about what was Mexican and what wasn't, since your learned history is obviously flawed...
